2024 PGA Championship Odds & Picks: Rory McIlroy

by |

Golf’s biggest stars descend on Louisville, Kentucky, this week for the second major of the year, the 2024 PGA Championship, which will be played at Valhalla Golf Club.

This will be the fourth PGA Championship to be played at Valhalla, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course that opened in 1986. Mark Brooks won the first PGA at Valhalla in 1996. Tiger Woods outlasted Bob May in a memorable Valhalla duel to win the 2000 PGA Championship. And Rory McIlroy won the PGA here in 2014, edging Phil Mickelson by a stroke.

Brooks Koepka is the defending PGA Championship winner. He won by two strokes over Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler last year at Oak Hill. But Scheffler is the headliner this week. The No. 1 player in the world has been on fire this year, winning four of his last five events. Last month, Scheffler won the first major of 2024, The Masters, earning his second Green Jacket.

Course History

The last time Valhalla Golf Club hosted the PGA Championship just happens to be the last time Rory McIlroy won a major. The Northern Ireland native posted four rounds in the 60s and led from Friday on, winning by one shot over Phil Mickelson. McIlroy will undoubtedly draw off those great vibes this week. McIlroy also won the 2012 PGA at Kiawah Island. He tied for seventh in last year’s PGA at Oak Hill and finished eighth at Southern Hills in 2022, fading after grabbing the first-round lead.

Rory McIlroy Recent Form

The No. 2-ranked player in the world seems to have figured out his game. A week after teaming up with fellow Irishman Shane Lowry to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, McIlroy fired a final-round 65 on his way to a five-shot victory at the Wells Fargo Championship. The 35-year-old McIlroy will look to make it three wins in a row and end a decade-long major drought.
